Our jewellery is designed to be worn and loved for years to come. To keep the sparkle alive, your gold jewellery needs pampering every now and then. Cleaning jewellery can be overwhelming, but here's where Carat Goldsmith comes to rescue.
The below guide hopes to give you a basic understanding of how to take care of your jewellery at the comfort of your home.
Daily Wear Tips:
- Always take off your gold jewellery before engaging in any physical activities. This includes housework, gardening, heavy work and sports as it can mark the metal and stones.
- Remove your gold jewellery when you are swimming or showering as chlorine and other chemicals in the water can cause discoloration, tarnish, and damage to your jewellery.
- Put your jewellery on last when you get ready. Makeup, perfumes, lotions and hairsprays can damage your gold.
- Store your gold jewellery in a safe place when not in use. Ideally, you should store it in a jewellery box or soft pouch to prevent scratches.
- Take off your jewellery before you go to sleep, chains can get twisted as you move around in the night.
Cleaning Gold Jewellery At Home:
All you need is a bowl, warm water, soft toothbrush, towel and a mild soap. Everything readily available at the comfort of your home.
Steps:
- Fill a bowl with lukewarm water, add in mild soap/detergent and mix well.
- Soak your jewellery for 15-20 mins.
- Use a soft bristled toothbrush to clean any dirt stuck between the nooks and settings, don't be harsh here.
- Rinse under normal water and thoroughly air dry on a kitchen towel.
